All I can say right now is that I wish I lived in South Park. If I lived in South Park, there would be a totally unrealistic and over the top solution to my problem. As it stands, I just have to hope that my kids are going to pull it out today and blow my mind with their awesome revisions. Hope is a thing with feathers . . .

Today is a Cluster Looking for a Place to Fuck
Today is the last day for revisions in the creative writing workshop I co-teach.

I am tired, I am hungry, and I am pretty sure I don't have any clean pants. I am in a panic, but I made you, my readers, a promise that you would get a Christmas song, every day, so here I am and here you are:

When did you start working in this workshop? Does it make you want to get a full time as a teacher? If so, what age level would you shoot for?

As for teaching, I am going to start my certification training the same day as the workshops, so that's fun. I've always wanted to be a teacher - at least, ever since I gave up my delusions of political grandeur. I hope to teach high school, but middle school wouldn't be so bad. I like the middle schoolers I work with.
